Best Director went to The Shape of Water’s Guillermo del Toro, while Gary Oldman’s turn as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour won Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama).
Coco won Best Motion Picture (Animated) and In The Fade took Best Motion Picture (Foreign Language), while This Is Me from The Greatest Showman took Best Original Song and Alexandre Desplat’s work from The Shape of Water was enough to scoop Best Original Score.
Oprah Winfrey won the Cecil B. DeMille award and gave a speech that has been widely lauded.
Snubs included Dunkirk, Call Me By Your Name and Get Out, which all left empty handed.
